Calcium chloride, CaCl2, is a common
salt. It behaves as a typical ionic halide, and is solid at
room temperature. It has several common applications such as
brine for refrigeration plants, ice and dust control on
roads, and in concrete. The anhydrous salt is also widely
used as a desiccant, where it will absorb so much water that
it will eventually dissolve in its own crystal lattice
water. It can be produced directly from limestone, but large
amounts are also produced as a by-product of the Solvay
process. Because of its hygroscopic nature, the anhydrous
form must be kept in tightly-sealed containers. It is used
to turn kelp into a solid.

Uses (food)

As an ingredient, it is
listed as a permitted food additive in the European Union for use as a
sequestrant
and firming
agent with the
E number
E509. The anhydrous form has been approved by the FDA as a packaging aid to
ensure dryness (CPG 7117.02).

It is commonly used as an
Electrolyte
and has an extremely
salty
taste, as found in sports drinks and other beverages such as
Smartwater
and Nestle
bottled water. It can also be used as a preservative to maintain firmness in
canned vegetables or in higher concentrations in
pickles
to give a salty taste while not increasing the food's
sodium
content. It is also used in brewing beers.

It is also used in
making cheese. It improves curd size and texture when using store bought
milk. One teaspoon of 30% solution will treat 2 gallons of milk, adding rennet to the cheese mixture.
